The Culture in Vancouver “Sweepstakes” has been offering incredible prizes which include uniquely tailored “experiences” with themes ranging from Theatrical to Culinary. Each of the prizes offers truly special experiences that are uniquely individual. Four of these prizes have already been won… but the final grand prize is still up for grabs! (final draw Jan. 6)

Vancouver frequently ranks as one of the best places to live in the world, and often evokes mental images of mountains, forest, and ocean for its many visitors. However, aside from the abundance of outdoor activities, Vancouver is also Western Canada’s largest cultural hub. In addition to the sheer volume of events, there is an incredible variety of culture available to everyone, ranging from opera and art, to comedy and burlesque. Visitors to Vancouver are able to find almost any activity that they want to do, as the city caters to a huge range of interests.

Developed by Tourism Vancouver (with the help of Vancouver-based digital agency, smashLAB), the Culture in Vancouver campaign promotes local arts and culture, with a focus on encouraging those who live in communities across British Columbia to come to Vancouver and try something different. Meanwhile, for those who live in the Metro Vancouver area, the campaign encourages them to take in some of the many events happening in their own city. This is supported by a microsite with a comprehensive events calendar that offers quick and easy access to what’s happening daily in Vancouver.

This is a great way to quickly see what’s happening in Vancouver right now. When you’re looking for something fun to do today, just check out their calendar.
